IHSH-297-IND - Blanket Lined Denim CPO Shirt

Thanks. This shirt is so good. It far exceeded my expectations.

@Filthy:

I am quite blown away by the bulk and heaviness of this shirt. And the lightweight denim is so good and soft.

Aren't they great! I'm so in love with my black one, that the indigo version seems necessary too. What a brilliant, counterintuitive idea to make a lined CPO out of such light denim, and still come up with a truly "Iron" shirt.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah it's freaking great. I absolutely love it.

I was talking to Brock about the sizing on this shirt. So I am doing a shrinkage test. This hotel has water that is near boiling.

Time for a little 'Hot Water Music'

Nice you beat me to it Mike….
Has anyone else done an kind of shrink test?
I want to be able to wash and dry without worry too…

I’m leaning towards grabbing an XXL

I'm going to go get shit faced and I will report back to you in a couple hours

I'll be interested to see how something with that many different fabrics and insulation reacts to a hot soak. It seems like you could get some rippling and other effects if the various fabrics shrink at different rates.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yes that was a consideration. But I am doing this for a dear friend and for science.

[Joberwocky]

"for science" certainly gives it an air of importance. @Filthy has to walk so all of us can run

@Filthy is always good like that, DIY master who DGAF and helps his friends.

I would have gotten one of these if I didn't have the IHSH-49. I think everyone should have a blanket-lined IH Western. They're rad. And this one looks very similar to the old 49, same denim weight and perhaps a couple shades darker denim.

We briefly discussed the possibilities of a trip through the hotel dryer. But I am afeared of possible potential rouge curly-whirlies. So that will have to wait until I go home. I only use public laundry in an utter emergency.

@Filthy It cracks me up how much of your shrinking you do on the road.

"I need a room with a large tub, boiling water out of the tap, and a balcony from which I can air-dry things."

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I am a live in the moment kind of dude so you have seize every opportunity.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Okay folks after one hot soak for a couple hours, I got:

Ptp 26 ️ 25.6

Sleeve opening 5.1 ️ 4.8

Sleeve length 28 ️ 27

Body length 32 ️ 31.5

Shirt is still wet, but the shrinkage is evident by the amount of roping I got on the cuffs and hem.

Using a hair dryer in the closet to make a makeshift dryer.

Wait until you see his make shift dryer room!! [emoji23]

Hopefully I don't burn the hotel down

[Paul9221]

LOL!  You're a real asset to the club, Mike!
